Admittedly this is my first 996 drive, and so I can only compare it to my 88 911 and a 993 tip I test drove 4 years ago.

Everything written about it is true. Very modern. A/C is not an afterthought. Light steering. Drives like a regular sedan when on normal speeds. Very quiet. Pulls hard on high RPM, but still relatively quiet. I'm sure a less restrictive muffler might help with the sound.

I do feel the potholes less, maybe the suspension is less stiff or his tires absorb them well.

Lots of buttons and knobs, even compared to my A3.

Good luck! Should be a good driver.
